ALECTRYON

[soulping]

[The lights dim and you are no longer in a classroom, but a low key bar. An older gentleman from behind the counter is looking at you as if waiting for your next order. La Torre's voice comes from nowhere in particular:]

Let's pick up where we left all, shall we? You are sitting in a bar. Why are you drinking?

[...]

[It's so weird to be asked that.]

Yes. I am.

[clocksandroses]

[Giving him the most intent, disapproving stare, sizing him up.]

[untamedwing]

[Just raises an eyebrow at the look.]

[clocksandroses]

Why did you do it?

[untamedwing]

Do what?

[clocksandroses]

Hurt Flame-kun.

I have very little tolerance for bullies, but he cares about you. So I'd appreciate an explanation.

[untamedwing]

...

[Sighs.] You would be the third person to make a threat.

It's a complicated situation. One we only know bits and pieces of.

[clocksandroses]

It's not a threat. I'm saying that I'd like to understand, because of him.

Will you tell me those bits and pieces?

[untamedwing]

No.

I do not know you. I don't see why I should have to tell you anything.

I acted rashly. I do not plan to do so again. If you're concerned, Mira has made it very clear he will do what's necessary to stop me and he has every ability too.

[clocksandroses]

[HUFFS.]

He needs to keep his hands to himself, as well! If anybody does anything they're going straight to their dorms for a time out, and that includes him.

[untamedwing]

I have given him permission to do as he sees fit.

[Of course that means knifing himself, but...]

[clocksandroses]

Arim-san, that isn't going to happen.

You're not going to hurt Flame-kun, and Dark-san isn't going to hurt you. [or else.]

[untamedwing]

I have no intention to.

But, I repeat, a complicated situation. Regardless of what happens, Mira will protect Flame. I want him to.
